From January 2016, instead of posting on our Sea Blog, our 'Sea Angling Catch News' will become a section of our increasingly popular website www.anglersdensussex.co.uk Our Sea Angling Blog will remain live, documenting two years worth of local Sussex Sea Angling news (Nov 2013, til Dec 2015), but all news updates will be posted on our website in 'Sea Angling Catch News'.

Fishing Away From Home - news from Fishing Trips and Holidays.

The River Tyne in Northumberland is widely considered to be England's premier Salmon river and Dan Wood recently returned from a trip with his brother Mark to River North Tyne, where they fished at Bellingham.

Pictured below are Dan and Mark with the Salmon they caught fishing on the fly, which were returned alive. The fish were caught from a pool called Reeds Wood (since re-named by the pair 'Dan's Wood' to mark their memorable trip).

Northumberland scenery is considered 'propa bonny' (really beautiful), and anglers report 'geet walla' (very large) Salmon catches from the North Tyne of 20lb+, where Salmon stocks have boomed in the last 15 years thanks to a highly successful Tyne hatchery program - wey aye, man!

Keith Bean caught this double shot of plump Codling fishing in Normans Bay today (End of the Bungalows) with his mate Darren Mitchell. Keith ended up with 5 Codling, Darren also caught 1. They proved the fact that if you brave the conditions you can reap the rewards.

Many thanks to Russ Blaney who sent us this report of recent boat fishing trip out of Eastbourne Sovereign Harbour:

Have been fishing out of Newhaven for many years and fishing Seaford Head for Cod and Codling this time of the year using my preferred bait from 'Anglers Den' the frozen lug with added oil with great results.

On a lovely sunny October morning with two mates and the second in command Ann my wife headed 2.7 miles south of the marina and put down the anchor.

Kettle on and before it boiled with all lines in big mess and Ann fishing single 4/0 Aberdeen on short trace using your frozen lug not tipped with squid caused mayhem with us landing a nice double figure cod, scales swinging between 21 to 22 pound.

Have attached two pictures one with me holding the fish showing the prime condition of Ann's catch and the second with Ann trying to preserve her clothing and arm muscles.

Fishing Away From Home - news from your Fishing Trips and Holidays.

John Ryder and Phil Ollif fished the Daiwa Irish Pairs which this year took place from Friday 26th Sept til Thurs 2nd October 2014, held on the Dingle Peninsula in SW Ireland. AKA 'The Angling Week of the Year', the legendary Daiwa Irish Pairs is considered a major event in the national match calendar.

Now in it's 33rd year, it's something of an annual pilgrimage to the Emerald Isle.

Dingle is the most westerly place in Europe, known for its peace, tranquility and unhurried pace - and it's fishing! Oh, and then there's the Irish hospitality which ensures this is a social event as well as a fishing competition!

John and Phil had a grand time, some great 'Craic', and got up to shenanigans. They also caught some great fish and bought back some photos!

Below are pictures from a pleasure fishing session, separate from the main competition, in Dingle Harbour. John and Phil caught these Thornback Rays with sandeels and squid on a Pennel Rig.
